Hello Party People! (Are we still party people after the party is over?)
As you may have noticed, we have sent the surveys out last week. Cant find your survey? You can use thi...
I have a question about the "Limited Edition - 78 Tarot 10th Anniversary Deck - Celebration of Global Tarot Art" kit I backed back in spring. Who can I message? I just found a message that was buried & I missed it.
I finally have some news about shipping, and I’m so excited to share it with you! Woohoo! 🎉
First, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your patience as we’ve navigated these very challenging times. It’s been a rollercoaster, but we’re finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I’m thrilled to let you know that we’ve found an amazing new printer who is able to meet our high standards, and we’re working around the clock on finalizing the templates with them. My goal is to have these ready to print by the end of the month. Once they’re finished, they’ll be on a boat, and we’re hoping for a December arrival—though realistically, it may be more like January. As soon as they land, we’ll be shipping them out to you right away.
For those who’ve asked about the add-ons being shipped separately, I’m setting that up with our fulfillment team on Tuesday (tomorrow is a holiday here). So, you’ll be seeing those soon!
I also want to take a moment to thank every single one of you who has already backed our Nautical project. The past few months have been full of unexpected twists, and your support and love for our artists have meant the world to us. As a token of our gratitude, we’ll be applying a $5.00 credit to your shipping, and if you’d prefer to wait until Nautical is ready, you can combine the shipping with our Anniversary deck to save on costs. We’re aiming for Nautical to arrive in March, but we’ll do our best to get it to you sooner if possible!
We truly appreciate your trust and understanding during this time. In all our years of printing decks, we’ve never faced anything like this, and we’re hopeful that this will be the last curveball we have to dodge.
We’ll keep you updated and let you know as soon as everything is packed up and ready to set sail.
Thank you again for being so amazing.
We can’t wait to get these beautiful decks into your hands!
With all our love and appreciation, Kayti (and Trish, Del & Chris) ❤️
I just had to come here and let you all know how incredibly grateful we are for your kindness, patience and understanding about the unfortunate delay in production.
We are very thankful to have built such a wonderful community, and we are so glad you trust us to give you the best product we can, because the artwork deserves no less.
I have some good news, we have been in touch with several new printers so the process is moving right along. My hope is to print 10th Anniversary well before our second 2024 deck so we can get these out to you ASAP. Even if that means us paying more money to expedite the process.
For everyone who contacted us about sending your partial shipment, I have been in touch with my fulfillment center and we are getting the ball rolling with that. Expect a tracking number within the next week.
For those who asked, we are launching our second 2024 project on 11/7 and it will run until 11/22. We are doing our best to raise as much as we can for our artists before the holidays. You can find the link to our page to follow here.
We have been working non-stop behind the scenes to get you the best update we can.
I am going to be fully transparent with you. Most of you have been with us for years, and you know how important it is to us to have a good printer. One who is reliable and does not make errors.
We had an expensive misprint with our last project using these printers, but in order to keep this card stock everyone loved we had to use them again for this project.
I won't go into details, but suffice to say they have been very difficult to work with and after several failed attempts we have no choice but to forgo our materials deposit we made to them and work with a different printer. And DONT WORRY! We found the exact card stock.
We refuse to allow anything but a perfect print for this very important deck.
This clearly will put us well behind our production schedule, so we have been hard at work thinking about how to handle this fairly. We have no new dates yet but we are expediting this as fast as we can.
Here are the incentives we have for you:
1. Everyone who backed our 78 Tarot Anniversary will receive a 5.00 credit for our next campaign - 78 Tarot Nautical & Companion Oracle - Healing Waters- launching on Kickstarter on 11/7.
2. Everyone who backed our 78 Tarot Anniversary will get a special pin from our Nautical campaign.
3. Everyone who backed our campaign will receive a special recorded collective reading by Trish Sullivan
4. Everyone who backed our campaign will have the option to combine shipping of both Anniversary and Nautical (our new deck launching on Kickstarter on 11/7).
5. Everyone who backed our campaign will have the option for us to ship your non-78 Tarot Anniversary rewards at half price (as much as we would love to ship these for free we simply dont have the money). This means you can get them right now if you pay a small amount of extra shipping.
We struggled with how to go forward with this issue, as it is not something we have experienced in our decade of printing. We hope this is fair to you all. We spent a lot of time thinking of the best incentives we could.
IF you want to have your items partially shipped by paying half shipping, PLEASE email us - [email protected] and tell us your name and address and we will email you an additional invoice for shipping if needed.
Now, before I go, I want to let you know that we tried to make it work at Backerkit before deciding to return to Kickstarter. The truth is, we have to be where we built our project from the ground up. We gave it our best, but we just need to be where we can get more eyes on our project. We will still state our NO AI policy on every project. Our ethics have not wavered, but we need to do what is best for our backers and our artists.
That is all for now.
We very much hope to see you on 11/7 for our Nautical New Wave Kickstarter. Our artists have been working for a year on this Tarot deck and Healing Oracle. And we are so excited for everyone to see it.
Sorry it has been awhile since an update, the fact is I do not have much of one.
The printer we are working with has made some very large errors in our proofs which we are currently working with them to fix.
We are being extra cautious this year, because as some of you know, last year they made a very big error to one of the guidebooks and didn't catch it before they sent the bulk order. So we had to reprint the books and send them separately on our own dime. A financial catastrophe we are still trying to catch up from. We are not a big business, we are a passion project. We make very little if any on these decks, they are a true labor of love <3
For that reason we are being extremely cautious, and many eyes are going over proofs so we catch every single mistake and can give you a perfect product.
We had to charge shipping now to order any addons you purchased so we can have them in a timely fashion. But in truth it most ilkely wont ship until the end of October, if ALL goes well.
I apologize about this, I really wish i could speed up this process. We are stuck with this printer this year because we already paid, but will be changing printers for the upcoming decks.
That is all for now!
In light of the delay I will be ordering a special gift for everyone but its a surprise!!! We hope you love it and thank you SO much for your patience. Indy publishing is a lot of work to get a perfect product so we really thank you so much for your understanding.
